And the hits just keep on comin'

Wow.

That’s the only way to describe traffic to Fiji Media Wars
in the past 24 hours. While this blog usually gets 150-200 pageviews a day, my
posts of yesterday and today have resulted in more than 1,600 pageviews in the
24 hours just ended. (Blogger uses GMT to start and end a day for analytics purposes.)
The highest-ever total until now was the day I blogged about Hosanna Kabakoro, who suffered at the hands of the woman-bashing dictator’s son, Meli
Bainimarama. That day saw more than 700 pageviews, so the past 24 hours have
been more than double that.

It just goes to show the interest in stories that cannot be
told in Fiji
media due to the Draconian decrees the junta has imposed on news media there.
The dictatorship thinks it can even prevent overseas media and blogs from reporting
what it wants suppressed. This is proof that it can’t.
